If you need any more proof that the Republicans are batshit crazy, andcare only for the rich, they're now claiming that a double incomefamily earning $250,000 a year are not rich. One Republican even wenton TV this week and claimed that amount was borderline poor. Wow. Talkabout being out of touch. This explains why they got their panties ina twist at the prospect of the Bush tax cuts expiring. Where those ofus in the real world understand that a $250,000 income does indeedclassify as obscenely rich, the Republicans think that is middleclass. So whilst those of who are actually earning a real salaryunderstand that letting the tax cuts expire would be a good thingbecause the rich would be forced to pay their way, the Republicanswholeheartedly believe that it would affect "everyone in America".Freaks.

We have a right wing radical in the Utah state government who iscurrently getting all manner of bills put in front of the house andsenate. For example he doesn't understand that in civilized society,you don't walk around in public carrying a gun. He's working ongetting a bill through that would allow people around here to openlycarry guns in public. At the moment there is at least the class andexam for a concealed carry permit meaning at least some procedure tostop just anyone doing that. Mr Wimmer wants to get rid of that too.Imagine people of WalMart walking around with guns in public! He mustthink this is still the wild west of the 1800s.
